Cooper's Field Trip

Even though today is not Cooper's "regular" school day, his class was going on a field trip to a local gymnastics center (not the one we attend).  We met everyone there and the class had a great time!

 once we got home, Cooper rode his scooter for the first time since we bought it...last summer!

Monday Madness

Soccer practice was today instead of the usual Tuesday practice.  Since it was a beautiful sunny afternoon, Cooper and I exercised while Reagan practiced.  Never fear, pictures were still taken!!!

socks are THE accessory for soccer players (at least 1st graders anyway!)

 Cooper played on the playground for a little while (trying to get mulch out of his shoes)

 climbing the monkey ladder

 he found James, a friend from swimming lessons last year to play with (James' sister is on Reagan's team)

 

 

 

Cooper rode his bike around the track while I walked

we rode/walked for about 2 miles

Reagan got to play goalie

Sunday Stroll

Wow!  This weather has been absolutely gorgeous lately ~ and we're loving every moment of it!  After dinner tonight, Greg & Reagan rode bikes around the neighborhood while Cooper and I took a walk.



Happy St. Patrick's Day 2012

We had a busy St. Patrick's Day this year.  Unfortunately, Greg had to work, so he didn't get to join in on the fun:(  We started off the day with Leprechaun pancakes, rode bicycles around the neighborhood, mowed the grass, then the real fun began.  After lunch, Reagan went to a birthday party for one of her friends ~ they've known each other since infant massage classes at the hospital, then they were in pre-school together and now they're in elementary school with each other.  (and by the way, they say they're getting married when they're big!).  After the birthday party, Reagan had soccer practice.

Go BLAZE!

 they scrimmaged each other and her "team" scored!

 Reagan's turn to practice corner kicks

 tongue out = working hard

 After soccer practice and baths, Greg took the kids to Salsarita's and Rita's while I had a girls' night out dinner with some friends.  We were celebrating Cathy's birthday!
